Malaysians to Vote on First Astronaut

wengkius writes "According to BBC, Malaysians will be voting for their candidate of choice in the nationwide search for an astronaut to be sent to the ISS on board the Russian Soyuz spacecraft. Once its 11,000 would-be astronauts have been whittled down to a handful, their details and updates on their progress will be posted on the internet. If the contest proves popular and the government charges for the votes, it may even be able to cover the cost of its space program."

    I'm have a serious bowel problem and don't want to go see a doctor. I've had A LOT of problems having bowel movements recently for months. I think this part is a mental problem. My anus won't open to release properly. It wants to 'pinch off' immediately. Sometimes, when I do go, it's like a putting a pound of play-dough through a keyhole. This is REALLY beginning to effect my personal/professional life in many ways.
